IN PART, INTEL TRAILS IN THE mobile-chip race because it has treated tablets and smartphones as second-class citizens, providing their makers with only its Atom line of microprocessors. Historically, these haven't been as technologically sophisticated, fast, or powerful as the microprocessors Intel makes for personal computers and servers.
Making chips smaller can enormously boost their efficiency, measured by how much work they can do per watt of power expended.
For a year or more, Intel has been shipping PC and server chips, dubbed "Core," with transistors that measure 22 nanometers, or billionths of a meter. But the first 22-nanometer Atom chips are only now reaching production. Devices using them aren't expected to reach stores before the holidays, says microprocessor analyst Tom Halfhill of the Linley Group. That would put Atom about a year behind the Core family of chips in adopting 22-nanometer technology.
The next step for Intel is to introduce its still-faster 14-nanometer designs, which are expected to enter production in its Core line of chips by about 2014's second quarter. According to a person close to Intel, the company is likely to announce a schedule at IDF that would significantly trim the inevitable one-year lag for boosting the Atom chip to the next level in speed. And in fact, Atoms will go into 14-nanometer production just six months after the Core chips.
ARM-based chips have had an advantage in power efficiency, one of the main reasons they're favored for use in phones and tablets, where battery life is partially determined by the efficiency of the microprocessor. Intel has been closing the gap, but not fast enough.
The 22-nanometer Atom chips probably are about at parity with ARM-based chips in delivering the same performance at comparable power levels, says Halfhill.
But parity isn't good enough. To win over customers, Intel must demonstrate an advantage in performance per watt of power. "There's not enough of an incentive for OEMs [original-equipment manufacturers] to move to x86 if they're merely getting comparable performance and energy savings," Halfhill observes, referring to Intel's x86 chip architecture, which has dominated the personal-computer world for decades.
When Intel moves Atom to the 14-nanometer size, adds the analyst, the chips finally might boast a power advantage over ARM's. That eventually could help turn Intel from laggard to leader in mobile devices.The announcement at IDF might even come with disclosure of specific dates, albeit not hard-and-fast ones, on which production of the 14-nanometer Core and Atom chips will begin, making the stepped-up schedule more credible.
THE QUESTION THAT WALL STREET will ask in the wake of such a development is what the payoff would be for Intel. At the least, it could help investors' sentiment on the chip maker's stock. At a recent $21.91, the shares fetch a below-market multiple of 11 times next year's expected earnings because Intel is seen as tied to the withering PC market, with no new opportunities. They yield 4.1%
The chip giant has made billions selling microprocessors costing hundreds to thousands of dollars. As I've noted before in this space, chips sold by Nvidia and other manufacturers for phones and tablets are far less expensive, below $100 to start with and, in reality, as low as $10 or $20, though pricing varies tremendously as companies vie to be in each hot new tablet or phone.
Selling Atom chips with the latest technology would mark a major change for Intel, which has tended to allocate its top manufacturing resources to its most expensive products, to generate the biggest upfront payoff.
With Intel's trailing position in tablets and smartphones, Atom chips, in low volume and with low prices, wouldn't offer much revenue or profit initially to the company.
But even if the revenue contribution is very small at first, relative to that generated by PC, server, and networking chips, says Halfhill, Atom could give Intel a strategic, long-term boost. "This is rather like in chess," he suggests, "setting up the board before trying to take the king."
Not only would Intel gain some sales to producers of tablets and smartphones, it would establish its x86 chip architecture as a viable alternative to ARM's designs. And it would show that x86 can remain at the cutting edge of chip technology for many more years.
INTEL HAS LONG ARGUED THAT the PC market, which has declined sharply this year, is reinventing itself. New models that combine the best of tablets and laptops are supposed to eventually give it a boost.
Newly appointed Intel CEO Brian Krzanich last month said that both Core and Atom chips are being designed into more than 50 models of such 2-in-1, or hybrid, tab-laptops this year. But the argument is wearing thin. Hybrids have shown little traction. It's possible that next year's revamped Atom chips will improve sales, but it's also possible that hybrids are just duds.
In that case, to thrive Intel absolutely must gain ground in tablets and smartphones.
An accelerated schedule for Atom doesn't guarantee that tablet and phone makers will purchase the Intel chips. After all, they've been buying from the ARM camp for years, and there's an argument for sticking with what works.
But the news from IDF next month could be the best development for Intel's outlook in years.

To see if Sarasota stays the Reds Spring Training Home.
Here's Ballpark Digest latest:
Sarasota voters will be asked on Nov. 6 to approve $16 million in additional property taxes to renovate Ed Smith Stadium as the spring-training venue of the Cincinnati Reds. But city leaders don't seem to be too enthusiastic about the proposal. Commissioners have not joined Reds supporters in wearing "Vote Yes" T-shirts around town. Even the project's biggest cheerleader, sports facilities manager Pat Calhoon, is barred from advising residents on how to vote. The current proposal is for a $53-million modernization of Ed Smith Stadium and the current spring-training complex, scaled back considerably from the original plan. If the Sarasota vote fails, don't be surprised if the Reds front office casts about for a new spring-training home, perhaps at Dodgertown.

Modelling non-stationary extremes with application to climate prediction
This research project will develop methodology for making inferences about the extremes of non-stationary processes. This is important because many datasets exhibit some kind of non-stationarity. A standard approach identifies extreme events by setting a high threshold. Early work will compare the efficiency of estimation of different threshold selection strategies. In particular a recent proposal to set a covariate-dependent threshold using quantile regression will be explored. This is expected to result in more efficient estimation of covariate effects than choosing a constant threshold, because threshold exceedances will cover a wider range of covariate values. This will be achieved using theoretical asymptotic considerations and using stochastic simulation. Bias in estimation will also be considered. The findings will be used to inform analyses of climate extremes and predictions of climate extremes from General Circulation Models. Later in the project the variability in climate predictions between different climate models, different model runs from different climate models and over different socio-economic emissions scenarios will be studied. Economic climate change impacts will also be considered.

Extending the 'isolation-with-migration' (IM) model (coalescent theory)
My main research goal is to extend ML estimation of population parameters (based on pairwise differences data from a large number of independent genetic loci) to the following cases: asymmetric migration rates; unequal subpopulation sizes and/or growing/decreasing populations; a model with additional stages; samples of m >= 2 genes from n >= 2 subpopulations; more complex mutation models.

Quantifying uncertainty in climate models, under a Bayesian probabilistic framework
The notion of "multi-model ensemble" of climate simulators is now widely used in climate science. Particularly, information from many different climate simulators is collectively used to describe and predict the climate. The statistical framework as described in Chandler (2011), regards the properties of the projections from the different simulators as parameters which describe the output of a statistical model (which has a common form for all the different simulators). Those parameters are centred on the true climate plus the shared discrepancies of simulators from the true climate. Under a Bayesian probabilistic framework, a posterior distribution of the true climate, given simulator projections, is derived using the above ideas. The aim of my work it to further develop this framework. At the moment, I am applying it to surface air temperature data and constructing the full-Bayesian version of it, by considering different choices of hyperprior distributions, as well as techniques for obtaining hyperprior distribution parameters.

The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been recognized as one of the commonest endocrine abnormalities, affecting millions of women worldwide nowadays. The economic burden of polycystic ovary syndrome to our health care is significantly high and accounts for a large percentage of total NHS expenditures.
The aim of this study is to, firstly estimate and compare the prevalence of PCOS patients among different ethnic groups according to different criteria. Our prevalence estimation will be based on both Bayesian hierarchical modeling strategy as well as data extraction from a database called THIN. We will compare the results obtained from both methods and then establish prevalence of PCOS among our population. Furthermore, based on our results of PCOS prevalence, the epidemiology of PCOS-related diseases will be evaluated. In addition, we will investigate treatments of various PCOS-related diseases and their associated costs so the financial burden that PCOS population represents can be worked out for NHS. Finally, we use cost-effective analysis to compare current and potential alternative treatments for PCOS so the optimal clinical decisions can be established for this complex syndrome.

Estimation of Semiparametric Trivariate Models in the Presence of Endogeneity and Sample Selection
Endogeneity and sample selection bias are both caused by unobserved confounders. The former arises when unobserved variables are associated with both response and a variable of interest, while the latter occurs when the outcome of interest is observed for a restricted non-randomly selected sample of the population. The use of statistical models ignoring these issues can have severe effects on parameter estimation as biased and inconsistent estimates are expected. The proposed PhD research will build on a new well-founded theoretical and computational tool for fitting flexibly a model structured within a three-equation latent variable framework that can account for the two issues mentioned above.

Inference for networks
My main research focus at present is to derive new methodology for statistical network analysis – an important example of statistical inference for big data. My current work focuses on the basic questions of how, and whether, a given network can be partitioned naturally into communities. I take a statistical perspective on this question, because we need practical tools to distinguish true community structure from noise.

Statistical signal processing and machine learning for network traffic anomaly detection
Networked systems are increasingly being targeted by sophisticated cyber-criminals and hostile nations. The effects of cyber-espionage alone are estimated to cost around 0.2-1.2% of national income. Since current methods for detecting attacks are primarily based on prior knowledge of attack scenarios, previously unseen ("zero-day") attacks are very hard to mitigate or even detect.
My project aims to build on recent machine learning approaches for attack detection by extending sparse structure learning techniques to model the correlation structure of network traffic in non-stationary, low-flow, non-Gaussian regimes.

Bayesian health economic modelling of human papilloma virus vaccination
The aim of this project will be to assess the cost-effectiveness of a quadrivalent (an innovative mixture of four HPV type-specific) vaccination strategy. A first analysis in the study BEST I, a co-operation between UCL and Sanofi Pasteur, has been based on four cohorts of females, aged 12, 15, 18 and 25. In this strategy, herd immunity could not be accounted for because just female cohorts were observed and the model was not dynamic. During the PhD research, several other intervention strategies will be evaluated. As a first step, cohorts of males will be included in the model to evaluate the changes in cost-effectiveness if boys are also vaccinated. Virus transmission between the two sexes is simulated with a sexual mixing matrix according to certain infection probabilities per sexual partnership with respect to sexual mixing corresponding to age. A full Bayesian Markov model based on 23 health states will be used to estimate lifetime HPV related events.

A modelling framework for estimation of benefit in uncontrolled clinical studies
Pharmaceuticals are most commonly licensed on the basis of randomised controlled trials. Occasionally however products are licensed without comparative data, and have studies where all patients received the investigational drug.
My research program involves identifying drugs licensed on this basis, identifying how economic modelling has been performed previously for this type of problem, and investigating the problem further using Bayesian statistics and suggesting further methods which may be applicable.
Ultimately the aim of the project is to create an algorithm for the appropriate use of modelling techniques when only uncontrolled data is available. This will include previously published methods, and any further work performed within the PhD.

Bayesian Computations for the Expected Value of Partial Perfect Information for Health Economic Evaluation using Gaussian Processes and INLA
Decision theory is a widely applicable area of mathematics which aids informed choice, given a range of options, by properly quantifying the uncertainties on available knowledge. I will focus on the economic cost of decisions in the health service. Typically, there are different treatments for conditions, with different costs and success rates. All treatments undergo trials but our knowledge of the effectiveness of treatments is inevitably subject to uncertainty. Further trials reduce this uncertainty but have an economic cost. There are substantial benefits, in outcomes and costs, to reliably predicting the cost of obtaining information to reduce uncertainty.
The traditional methods of determining the cost of this information are complex to implement and computationally intensive. Recently, researchers have developed approximation methods that are simpler and cheaper. Therefore, the cost of further trials can be included in the decision-making process. This project will further this field, allowing health service planners to use the cost of obtaining information in decisions. Specifically, I will develop approximation methods using Gaussian Processes and INLA, comparing these with approximation methods that are already available.

Models for data that are missing not at random in health studies
Missing data due to attrition occurs in almost all longitudinal trials and observational studies. None of the standard statistical models such as multilevel or marginal models are valid when missing data are missing not at random (MNAR). To account for MNAR, model based approaches have been proposed which can broadly be divided into two classes, pattern mixture and selection models. These models make untestable assumptions and cannot be fitted easily using standard statistical software. One of the main objectives is to evaluate fully the performance of the existing models and to identify the best method and extend it if necessary. Based on these work recommendations on analysing MNAR data will be made to applied statisticians.

New statistical inverse methods for multispectral photoacoustic imaging
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a novel hybrid imaging modality based on the use of laser generated ultrasound that combines the high absorption contrast and specificity of optical imaging with the high spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging. Multispectral PAI, acquired at multiple optical wavelengths, provides 3D structural, functional and molecular information of living biological tissue. If quantitative concentration distributions of the tissue's chromophores can be accurately recovered, it can offer high potential in preclinical/clinical applications, such as cancer and brain/skin disorders. However, concentration recovery is an ill-posed inverse problem, mainly due to its nonlinear nature, its entanglement of spatial dependence and spectral correlation, and its large number of unknown spatial and spectral parameters to be estimated.

Multivariate analysis of X-ray diffraction data for investigating chemical structure and identifying materials
X-ray diffraction is a powerful tool for determining the chemical structure of materials. Tehcniques used to identify material structure in real-world applications, such as in medical diagnostics, result in less well-defined diffraction spectra than those observed in a controlled laboratory setting. The aim of the research is to find and develop statistical methods for identifying the important structural information of materials from the less well-defined diffraction data obtained using systems used in practice.

Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods
I'm interested in Markov chain Monte Carlo methods (MCMC), and properties of MCMC estimators. I've worked on devising ways to explore the state space of a high-dimensional distribution with a highly non-linear correlation structure using a Markov chain, and how incorporating some ideas from differential geometry can aid efficient exploration. I'm now assessing the ergodic properties of chains produced by different methods (based on Langevin diffusions and Hamiltonian flow), which can lead to central limit theorems for estimators. I'm also particularly interested in quantitative and non-asymptotic bounds on Markov chain estimators, and efficient exploration of multi-modal distributions.

A systems approach to the analysis of ARC syndrome
The aim of the project is to identify molecular pathways implicated in the rare genetic disorder Arthrogryposis, Renal Dysfunction and Cholestasis (ARC) syndrome. The syndrome is caused by germline mutations in either VPS33B or VIPAR, proteins which are implicated in maintaining cell polarity. A number of biochemical pathways have been linked with progression of the disease and the project will include utilising the existing knowledge accumulated in the Gissen Lab to develop dynamic models of signalling pathways. Further to this, advanced Markov chain Monte Carlo methods will be employed and developed as required in the Girolami group to carry out statistical evaluation of the models.

Mixtures of linear mixed effects models
Linear mixed effects models are well suited to modelling clustered data, for example repeated measurements on people over time. In such data the clusters often exhibit large differences in both mean levels of response, and the relationship between the response and time. For some of these data the assumption that the data follow a single normal distribution may be not hold and instead the distribution may be a finite mixture of normal distributions. For example in clinical trials there may be two distinct sub-populations that can be classed as responders or non-responders. In these circumstances mixtures of linear mixed effects models may offer advantages over a standard linear mixed effect model. My research will focus upon some theoretical/methodological aspects of these models, as well as searching for evidence of mixture distributions in datasets, in particular for repeated measurements data from clinical trials.

Although utility measures, such as QUALYs, are usually modeled using a single distribution, however, often observed data show multimodality. Therefore, it may be necessary to use mixture models to properly account for this.

Quantification of uncertainty for landslide-generated tsunami models
The project revolves around the improvement of a complex computational tsunami model, with a main focus on landslide-generated tsunamis. Since the simulation of tsunamis is very computationally expensive, the project will involve the building of an emulator, which is a statistical representation of the model that can quickly provide an accurate statistical prediction of the model's output. Using the emulator, one can also quantify uncertainties and produce a sensitivity analysis of the model.

How much data are required to validate a risk model?
Risk models are becoming increasingly important in health care, and are typically used to provide information to both clinicians and patients, and to facilitate fairer, risk-adjusted comparisons between healthcare providers. Despite the importance of these models, relatively little research has been conducted into how many patients are required to both develop a new risk model and validate an existing model. Risk models developed or validated using small datasets may be inaccurate which may have implications for patient care. The focus of my research is to ascertain the amount of data required to develop and validate a reliable risk model.

Statistical analysis for highly structured data
This project will develop novel statistical learning techniques to understand and classify highly structured information such as that found in hyperspectral remote sensing data. Unlike previous work, the approach will attempt to manage the rich, dual spatial-spectral nature of the data by considering recent advances in spatial visual attention modelling and statistical spectral band selection weighting developed by the supervisory team and collaborators.

Flexible sample selection count data modelling
Sample selection occurs when observations are not from a random sample of the population. Instead, individuals may have selected themselves (or have been selected by others) into (or out of) the sample, based on a combination of observed and unobserved characteristics. This problem can be addressed using a sample selection model. Various variants of this model and related estimation procedures have been developed. This research will focus on developing estimation methods for count data that can account for non-random sample selection and model flexibly covariate effects.

***Information has been updated for the 2008 tax year*** OverviewWhat is the Homestead Credit?The Homestead Credit is a tax benefit for renters and homeowners with low or moderate incomes. It is designed to lessen the impact of rent and property taxes. Qualifying persons can get back some or all of their state taxes withheld during the year. Those who do not have earnings, or whose earnings were too small to have taxes withheld, can get extra cash back from the State. A recent Department of Revenue study estimates that in 2001, only 43% of eligible households applied for and received the Homestead Credit Who can get the Homestead Credit?The main criteria for eligibility include the following:
What counts as household income?Household income includes all income reportable for tax purposes, plus certain nontaxable income, less a deduction of $250 for dependents who lived with the claimant for at least six months of 2008. Examples of nontaxable income counted in 'household income' include Social Security, Unemployment Compensation, child support, IRA contributions, and nontaxable scholarships. How much can individuals and families get back from the Homestead Credit?The amount of the credit depends on income and on the amount of rent or property taxes. In general, the credit is higher when income is lower and/or when rent or property taxes are higher. The maximum Homestead Credit is $1160. Does the Homestead Credit affect eligibility for welfare? Do welfare benefits affect eligibility for the Homestead Credit?
Claiming the Homestead CreditWhat is the procedure for claiming the Homestead Credit?
Can people get the Homestead Credit for prior years, if they were eligible but didn't claim it?
Where can workers get help filing for the Homestead Credit?

I've spent all weekend trying to get my DSL to work and of course, it doesn't, in spite of 2 calls to AT&T and 3 to Dell. Of course, two of those Dell calls got disconnected before I could speak to "My name is (unintelligible) but you can call me Shawn". Sigh. Anyway, I finally gave up and hooked up my old dial up so I could post these pictures.
Food first? OK, here's RobinKate's prizewinning nectarine jam, along with the cinnamon rolls for Saturday's breakfast just rising and Pat T's marmalade cream cheese bars. We also had bran muffins with Nancy's Apple Maple Jam, Craftyrn's peach ricotta muffins and Ann T's Scones, along with Ann T's cream cheese danish: Marilyn's Lemon Cake roll shared dessert places with Sherry's brownies (on the cake plate Michelle brought me) and Carol's (readinglady) fresh fruit and berries in vanilla syrup with fingers of scottish shortbread: We had Lars' Algerian chicken served on San's mermaid platter (which everyone loves, both chicken and platter), Donna's hummus with homemade pita chips, Terri's honey wheat bread, Chase's dill pickles. Drinking? Who said anything about drinking? Well, we did have just a little. Sherry brought some frozen margaritas, aren't they a pretty green color. Some is left in my freezer! Linda made Sangria but we pretty much drank it before I could get a picture, LOL. Both pitchers! Oh and we had a bit of wine too. Some Michigan Traverse City Cherry, some red stuff called "Woop Woop", some hard cider, some other red stuff, LOL, and some white stuff. I'm such a wine expert. (grin) We used some items from other forum members. My tablecloth was courtesy of san and my tablerunner was from Karen (riverrat). I used san's platter, of course, and baked Sharon CB's salmon pie in a pie pan I got from David (lakeguy). We used napkins I got from Kathy (gardengrl): San sent engagement gifts for Elery and I, a beautiful blue tablecloth and a wine decanter. Carol (readinglady) also sent an engagement gift, some heavy pewter measuring spoons with a hanger that says "Heart of the Home". Elery was pleasantly surprised to be included: He shouldn't have been surprised, Sherry brought American Spoon Foods products for everyone, including Elery. Linda (doucanoe) brought him a very unique glass topped wine stopper, and she made me two gorgeous plates. Michelle made everyone handmade potholders: San also sent a door prize, a champagne opener, which Linda won as the person who travelled the furthest. Linda says she'll use it. LOTS! (grin) Linda also made a wonderful green beaded bracelet for Michelle and a leaded glass suncatcher for Sherry: San also sent an anniversary gift to Sherry and Roger, a spiral candleholder and tall elegant candles, but Sherry's favorite was the Dove chocolates, which she says is "medicinal". (grin) Our San sure knows her stuff! Sherry brought me a jacket that fits perfectly, a rusty brick color that Ashley says goes with my red hair. I've already worn that to work, and Jessica sent fig preserves for everyone. Well, everyone except Sherry, although Roger did get a jar. (grin) Michelle brought a nice, heavy glass cake plate that I promptly used to serve Sherry's Brownies: Is that all? Heck no! We ate, drank, ate some more. We had some cheese, including some dark brown, kind of sweet and caramel-y stuff that I can pronounce. Sherry's Norwegian foreign exchange student gave it to her and she served that and some manchego on plates from David (lakeguy) We also had some Black Star Farms raclette from right here in Michigan, some local Amish yogurt cheese, some of the mimolette that San loves so well, and I forget what else, LOL, besides the wine. We had some of Elery's white chili and Linda's Minnesota wild rice with the cheese, bread and wine on Saturday night along with Alexa's Cheddar and Chipotle biscuits (picture to follow later in this thread) Other than that, we sat around and talked, ate, drank, talked, drank, ate some more. We told jokes, talked about family histories and our houses, told jokes and learned to speak "minnesotan", doncha know. Sunday morning Elery and I took Linda to the airport and everyone else left for home. I was sorry to see them go, everyone was funny, smart, great house guests. Believe it or not, later that night we were hungry and Elery and I had leftovers. We had some of Linda's wild rice soup, some leftover pita, a bit of the raclette, some of Alexa's cheddar chipotle biscuits and some stuffed grapeleaves that Elery had purchased at the Mediterranean market. I was sorry to see those three days end..... Annie |

Dang! We ate and drank all that! No wonder I had to pay my buck at the Big Loser's Weight Loss club meeting! But you know what, it was worth every calorie! (and I only gained 2/10 of an ounce) Sherry |

most excellent. what could be better - good food, good drink, good friends and presents!!!!! thanks again for sharing. i've been waiting for your pix. annie, i can sympathize with ya on the DSL, when i first got it, i went through hell with it. we had to play around with all the filters on every phone jack, reset the modem, configure something else in the computer. a good friend of mine sat here and worked for a good couple of hours and dealt with the dsl company and dell. i loose my patience quite easily with that nonsense. maryanne |
Just looking at the pictures I've gained 5 lbs. Now that is one awesome spread of food, drinks and friends! It's always alot of fun to hear who sent you what in whatever swap it was. Thanks for sharing your amazing weekend with us Annie. |
Annie, I've enjoyed following this CF extravaganza. Thanks so much for sharing it with the rest of us. I'm truly "mind-boggled" at the thought of preparing so many dishes at one time. It must have taken you ages to do the planning alone, not to mention the actual preparation. As for the DSL problem, I have a "fix" (taught to me by my 25-year-old DS) that usually works when I'm disconnected from the internet. Not sure it applies to your problem/situation, but here it is: Turn off computer. Turn modem switch off; disconnect small black wire on back of router. Wait 30 seconds. Turn modem switch on; reconnect wire on router. Reboot computer. (The order of modem and router seems to make all the difference, so don't reverse the order.) We have the router to create a "network" with a computer in another room. If you don't have one, you might try simply turning the modem switch off and on. HTH, Sue |
Thanks, Sue. I want to "network" with Ashley's laptop so she can do some homework at home instead of doing it all at school in the library. However, the current problem appears to be that, in spite of a couple of hours on the phone with AT&T, who assured me that there would be no problem, I need some kind of USB adapter. It's ordered and we'll try again in a day or so. Sigh. I hate this, and if I had my way I'd cancel the internet AND the satellite television and just do all my email and such during lunch hours at the office! Annie |

Oh this was so nice to see the pictures and remember the good time we had. Loved every minute and I could not have dreamed a better weekend get away! However, I do think we drank a tad more wine then the number of empty bottles pictured...LOL! Michelle |
Michelle, I kept stacking the empties out for the garbage service, when they picked up on Thursday I think we had 13 empty bottles. LOL Still, there were 6 of us and we were there for two days, so it's not so much, plus I had a half bottle of the cherry stuff left on the table, and we used some in cooking. I think. (grin) Annie |

Looks like you all had a wonderful time Annie......and I've also gained some weight just looking at the food! (I'll have a cinnamon bun and a glass of that green margarita please.) Thanks for taking the trouble to upload all those photos! It must be a pain when your internet connection is failing. SharonCb |
Hooray, I have DSL and it works (for now). It only took 10 hours and 4 calls to AT&T. Ahem. Anyway, pictures should be a LOT faster to load, it took me nearly two hours to take the ones on Photobucket and put them on this thread. That's after the 4 hour time it took to load them from the computer to Photobucket! So, expect more pictures, LOL. Annie |
Well what could be better? Friends, food, drink , connections-- sounds like a great weekend . |
Jeez - did you have enough food? Looks like a real food and gab fest - I'm so glad you could all get together! Thanks for the great pics. |
You know, Woodie, I was a little worried but I don't think anyone went away hungry. (grin) And I do have three cinnamon rolls and half a bucket of margaritas left in the freezer. Wanna come over for breakfast? Annie |

Wow, just wow! (Nice to see you again Linda!) |
Thanks for sharing. I had to work on short notice and it ruined that weekend for me. Wish I could have been there. : ) |
Michael, we missed you, I was so hoping that you were going to be able to make it, at least for supper. Ah well, next time! That working for a living just sucks, doesn't it? Annie |
Well...I finally got to seeing this one. Boy you all ate a lot!!! (I laugh cause it seems the right amount to me!!) Glad you shared the fun with us Annie. Maureen |

Who Can Work?
All students are eligible for all on campus jobs, regardless of their financial status. The week before fall classes begin and during the first two weeks of school, students that receive financial aid will have the opportunity to apply for posted jobs on campus. All other students must wait to begin applying until after the third week. Financial aid status is not relevant when rehiring students or hiring students for research assistant positions. International students (non-resident aliens) may work only on campus. Off-campus work study positions are available only to U.S. citizens on financial aid with a work study component.
Do I need a social security number to work and, if so, how do I apply for one?
A social security number is required to work in the United States. Instructions on applying for a social security card and social security number can be found on the Tax Office's website at http://www.middlebury.edu/offices/business/tax/filing/ssn.
What are the required forms for employment?
All students are required to complete the federally mandated I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form and a W-4 federal tax withholding form in the Student Employment Office. These forms must be completed before the student is eligible to work. Some International students will complete an 8233 form through the Windstar FNIS online program.
Click here to see a complete list of acceptable documents (mandated by the Department of Homeland Security) necessary to complete the I-9 form. Please make sure to bring these original, unexpired documents with you when you come to the Student Employment Office.
How do I find a job?
It is the student's responsibility to secure a job. All available on and off campus jobs are posted online. See 'Find A Job' to the left of this page to see what is currently available. It's not uncommon for students to inquire at SEO about other positions that are not online. Please note that SEO posts all of the open positions that we are aware of. However, students may inquire with a specific department, staff member, or faculty member if there is a position they are interested in that is not posted. It may be that the position isn't currently open but will be at some point in the future.
The week before fall classes begin and during the first two weeks of school, students that receive financial aid will have the opportunity to apply for posted jobs on campus. All other students must wait to begin applying to on campus jobs until after the third week. Students may apply to off camopus positions at any time. The website will be updated throughout the academic year and will advertise jobs on campus and off campus. All students are eligible for on campus jobs. International students (non-resident aliens) may work only on campus. Off-campus work study positions are available only to U.S. citizens on financial aid with a work study component. Hiring practices vary (interviews, applications, etc.), and are at the discretion of the supervisor.
Can I apply for more than one job?
Yes. Apply for jobs that interest you and for which you are qualified. Make sure you are fully aware of what will be required of you including duties and schedules. You should not accept a job and then quit because you get a "better offer."
I've been awarded a College Job/Work-Study as part of my financial aid - what does this mean?
Students that have been awarded a College Job or Federal Work Study may begin applying to posted on campus jobs the week before fall term classes begin and during the first two weeks of classes. All other students must wait to begin applying until after the third week. The intention is to assist students with financial aid to obtain a job that best fits their needs.
For more information visit the Student Financial Services website at: http://www.middlebury.edu/offices/support/sfs/student_employment
I have work study and am arriving in February. Is there any special consideration given at that time of the year?
No. The week before fall classes begin and during the first two weeks of school, students that receive financial aid will have the opportunity to apply for posted jobs on campus. All other students must wait to begin applying until after the third week. If a position is posted in January or February, anyone can apply for it.
I have work study. Am I guaranteed a job?
No. We do not guarantee employment to anyone.
I don't have financial aid. Does this mean I can't apply for jobs during the first couple weeks of class?
Yes. Only students that have financial aid can apply during the first 3 weeks (the week before fall classes begin and the first two weeks of classes). You can apply any time after the third week ends (Sunday). There will still be jobs available and some positions aren't even posted that early.
When and Where Can International Students Work?
Most International Students are eligible to work on campus during the academic year as well as during vacation periods. To work off campus, international students (non-resident aliens) must request permission from the Department of Home Land Security. If you are interested in obtaining off campus work permission, please contact the International Student & Scholar Services at x5858. International students must also be aware of limits set by treaty exemptions. Some countries will penalize student who go over the maximum amount earned. Non-resident aliens may not work more than a total of 20 hours per week while school is in session. During the summer and specific holiday breaks,* the maximum for international students is 40 hours per week.
*Generally, winter, February and spring breaks are the only breaks for which this applies.
I've been hired! Now what?
You must complete the federally mandated I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form and W-4 Tax withholding form at the Student Employment Office. Once these forms have been completed you will receive a blue employment card indicating that you are eligible to work on campus. Your supervisor will need to complete and submit a Payroll Authorization Form ("green card") to Student Employment. Please note that without a blue card you CANNOT work or be paid.
All Student employees are limited to working no more than 20 hours per week in on campus jobs during the academic year. The only exception is when there is a full week when school is not in session. Specifically, February recess, Spring recess, and full weeks of December recess. During these time periods only, students can work up to 40 hours per week.
What is a Payroll Authorization Form ("green card")?
Once a student has been hired to work during the academic year, a Payroll Authorization Form ("green card") must be completed by the supervisor and submitted to the Student Employment Office for each student working in an ongoing capacity. Once the form is received, the information is entered into Banner, and the job will appear on the student's time entry BannerWeb page. Green cards are available in the Student Employment Office or can be sent via inter-campus mail upon request.
Students hired for temporary (one-time only) positions would need to complete a temporary pay card. This card is signed by the student and hiring supervisor and submitted to student employment for payment.
For both types of cards we typically request 2-3 business days for processing.
How many hours may students work?
All student employees are limited to working no more than 20 hours per week in on campus jobs during the academic year (this includes exam periods). The only exception is when there is a full week when school is not in session. Specifically: February recess, Spring recess, and full weeks of December recess. During these time periods only, students can work up to 40 hours per week. We recommend starting with just a few hours per week until a balance is found between employment and academic demands.
Securing a part-time job on campus affords the student the opportunity to acquire and enhance certain workplace skills, knowledge, and abilities that are transferable and can be the foundation for building a resume. In addition to these benefits, students who work 10 to 20 hours per week have the highest rate of academic achievement. U.S. News and World Report, April 2006
How are students paid?
Students are only eligible to work and be paid if they have completed the federally mandated employment paperwork at SEO and received their blue card (see "Employment Eligibility" to the left of this page for more information). Supervisors notify SEO anytime that they hire a student either by Electronic Personnel Action Form ("EPAF") or by Payroll Authorization Form ("green card"). Once SEO has received and processed this form the student will be granted access to time sheets. Most positions on campus use the BannerWeb Time Entry method to report hours. See "Getting Paid" for instructions on how to access and submit time sheets in BannerWeb. The College payroll is on a bi-weekly pay cycle.
You must submit your hours by 5pm on the Monday following the end of the pay period so that your supervisor can approve your hours by the noon deadline on Tuesday.

Please review the Progressive Discipline section of the Student Employee handbook.
What is Termination of Employment?
A student may leave any position without consequence, provided that two weeks notice is given.
There are several situations that can result in involuntary termination.
Please review the Progressive Discipline section of the Student Employee handbook.
Can a student position be removed from Banner Web?
Yes. If a student is no longer working in a particular job, the supervisor should contact Student Employment requesting to terminate the position for that student in Banner. Please indicate the last day of work and whether the termination was voluntary or involuntary. Make sure that all hours have been paid out to the student employee before sending the termination request. The student will still be able to view the position on their BannerWeb Time Entry page, but will no longer have the ability to enter and submit hours. All academic year positions are terminated annually at the end of the summer.

Shop Books & MediaArt & PoetryViking Poetry of Love and War
£9.99 Members' price *
The Vikings are not often thought of as poets, though they came from a culture that valued poetry highly and rewarded poets handsomely. There is evidence for the kinds of poetry favoured by the Vikings from the fifth to the fifteenth centuries, in oral tradition, in runes and in medieval manuscripts. This book features a selection of carefully-chosen poems to encompass the rich genres and styles of the Vikings, whose poetic language is colourful, intricate and steeped in mythological knowledge. The style of the poetry ranges from the highly formal to the scurrilous, and is often light- hearted, even in the face of death and tragedy. Beautifully illustrated with works of art from the British Museum collection, this book captures perfectly the essence of Viking Poetry and offers a fascinating glimpse into the ideology of the time. About the author Judith Jesch is Professor of Viking Studies at the University of Nottingham. Her expertise focuses on the variety of texts composed and written in Old Norse- Icelandic. She has extensive research experience in the general and cultural history of the Viking Age and the relationships of language, texts and contexts during this period.

The search engines such as Google, bing and yahoo who have the international presence and are the major players in the field try hard to present before their visitors the information which they seek within a twinkle of an eye. As we know in order to achieve this they use special software which collects signals from the information available in the web. The marketers eager to reach their customers in order to enhance their sales hire SEO agencies such as results first online marketing who are the experts in the designing and the development of the web sites. But there are a few SEO agencies which employ unethical practices while making the website in order to hoodwink the search engines and attain top ranks in the search engines.
New trends
The search engines consider such unethical practices aimed at deceiving the search engines as illegal and take punitive actions against them when caught. But in order to avoid such incidence the search engines resort to continuous updating of their techniques so that the unethical SEO are unable to replicate the tactics. But the normal and reputed SEO agencies such as results first online marketing have to keep track of such changes and modification so that they can rank their client at top ranks.
Smart get-up
Emphasis is given now to the smart get-up as well as the content of the web site. The spider prefers sites which are having brief and to the point content, attractive logo and representative title and such things comprehensively get you to the top ranks. The software of the search engine is now much developed and can apprehend the quality of the web content and the coverage ranges which the site can provide. The web site should contain images and videos relevant to the content which enhances the chances of good ranks. IP address now does not play significant role in ranking but it is better to provide authentic references.

Pace will use the new coaches to replace older buses and those leased from MCI, on its popular "Bus-on-Shoulder" service, which debuted in 2011 between Chicago and the southwest suburbs.
"They were trying to find coaches that would provide reliability first, but also a way to increase ridership," says Tom Wagner, director, business development, public sector sales. "The shoulder riding is actually a fairly nice concept; especially if you don't have bus dedicated lanes or HOV lanes, because it allows you to bypass that traffic."Pace's ProgramIn November 2011, Pace in a cooperative effort with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the Regional Transportation Authority and the Illinois State Police, launched the Bus-on-Shoulder program, which allows commuter buses to use the shoulders of the Stevenson Expressway (I-55) during rush-hour congestion, leading to reduced travel times, more schedule reliability and environmental benefits gained as more motorists use mass transit.
Under the program, Pace buses use the shoulder when traffic in regular lanes is flowing at less than 35 miles per hour (mph); buses using the shoulder cannot travel at speeds greater than 35 mph, or 15 mph faster than the flow of regular-land traffic — whichever is less.
"When I-55 was constructed, it was built with a shoulder wide enough to accommodate an additional lane of traffic," explains Patrick Wilmot, spokesperson for Pace. "We had identified this corridor as a potential shoulder riding application after seeing the success that had occurred with Minneapolis' Metro Transit's program. It took a number of years, but we worked with all of the regional organizations to build support to get an amendment to the state vehicle code for this pilot project."
Special signage and roadway markings show where buses can use the shoulder, and the buses have markings indicating they are authorized to use the shoulder.
Shoulder riding has been cited to be one of the most affordable options for implementing bus rapid transit (BRT) on highways because it is less expensive to modify shoulders than it is to construct new roadways and requires little capital investment compared with rail alternatives.
Due to the overwhelming success of the program, Pace is expanding its Bus-on-Shoulder service and will use the new MCI Commuters for that service.
During the program's first year, Route 855 ridership rose 67%, and Route 755 ridership surged 120%. Those numbers are continuing to soar. In July 2013, ridership grew 441% on Route 755 and 119% on Route 855 from July 2011 to July 2013, according to Pace numbers.
The program has also reduced travel times and improved on-time performance. Pace reports that before the program, about 68% of trips on routes 755 and 855 arrived at their destinations on time. Since the pilot program began, on-time performance averages 92%.
"I-55 continually comes up as one of the most congested highways in our region, so travel times were very unpredictable and our on-time performance was abysmal," explains Wilmot. "When we began the pilot project, almost right away riders were able to tell us how much time they shaved off their commute and how happy they were to have a much more predictable time of arrival at the office."
When the service began, Wilmot says travel times were so unpredictable that Pace wouldn't even publish arrival times for its afternoon or evening rush hour services at its suburban park-and-rides for the two routes.
"After transitioning to this program, we were not only able to begin scheduling arrival times of those trips, but in May, we were able to make those a little bit more aggressive, because we were finding we were running a little ahead of schedule thanks to the travel time savings," says Wilmot.
To accommodate increased demand, Pace has already increased the number of inbound trips during the morning rush hour and outbound trips during the evening rush hour to 32 on its two routes between the southwest suburbs, the Near West Side and downtown Chicago. It also recently added midday service that never existed before as well as some later evening service.
"The nice thing about that is it offers riders a lot more flexibility, so if someone needs to leave the office early or stay late, they can now do that and still use our service, which wasn't an option before," Wilmot explains.

Ian Ziering, second left, and Cassie Scerbo battle a shark in "Sharknado." A sequel is already in the works.
Liberal arts
You don't have to be a die-hard liberal to appreciate the excellent writing and passionate delivery of "New Rules," which comes at the end of every episode of "Real Time With Bill Maher" (9 p.m. Friday, HBO). The commentary is often so hilarious that even ultra-conservative guests can be caught giggling.
Come to Poppy
"Unforgettable" (8 p.m. Sunday, WCCO, Ch. 4), the crime drama that was "uncanceled," returns after a long hiatus with the photogenic mind of Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery) still intact. In this reincarnation, the former detective moves to New York City, where she tragically can't shake the memories of every bad hot dog she's ever bought from a street vendor.
Ready to rumble
"Total Divas" (9 p.m. Sunday, E!) lowers the mike on WWE's female fighters as they try to prepare for Wrestlemania while still trying to maintain a grip on friendships and romantic interludes. This is the moment when I usually poke fun at these trashy relationship shows, but considering the subjects' occupations, I will take a pass.
Sharkey's machine
You've made merciless fun of "Sharknado" (8 p.m. Saturday, Syfy), but did you actually see it? Chances are you didn't, which is why cable's No. 1 tweeted show is getting repeated this weekend, the gift at the end of a movie marathon that includes such classics as "Shaktopus," "Two-Headed Shark Attack" and "Swamp Shark."

The Stonepound Coffee Company distributes organic, eco-friendly and ethically produced coffee in Toronto that helps create sustainable income for indigenous farming families. Launched in February 2011, the coffee is responsibly sourced in the Julia Campbell Agro-Forest located in Pula, Asipulo, Philippines.
The organic civet coffee is "green" and shade-grown, while the forest, a conservation park, is engaged in supporting animal welfare and bio-diversity. Due to the unique collection method of civet coffee, there is only a limited supply of the beans available for pre-order.
The company developed a program, the Stonepound Coffee Community Advancement Fund, in order to create to spur positive social change in Pula. Stonepound also endeavors to pursue responsible, organic growth within the farming municipality.

The process of selecting the best choice becomes increasingly involved when the system uses solid state laser cutting machines. Here are some important points to consider.
Gases, Welding
MIG and TIG welding, plasma cutting, laser cutting or welding all require compressed gases. How these gases are stored, handled and used will determine the extent that the overall cost of these gas products impacts your bottom line. The correct gas delivery system will provide the most economical and efficient results to complement any of these applications – and the normal starting point for all of them is a cylinder of gas and a regulator.

Check your hives after wind storm !
- Published on December 22, 2012
- Written by Peter Hadeka
Hello all, yesterday we had severe wind in the area, which I expect you all experienced. Anyway I was away for a few hours and when I returned home my neighbor suggested I check out my hives. The wind had blown both of the top feeders, with stones, completely off the hives. He was kind enought to put the tops back on and saved my hives. I did find an inner cover about 40 feet away and replaced it. The hive was a little disturbed and was flying around a little, but was not aggressive. It appears that all is well and thanks to a good neighbor, who knows nothing about keeping bees, the day was saved. Merry Christmas to all. Peter.
